Against All Odds: Loving SyCo

Young, beautiful and broken, 23 year old Simmone Nathan has had her share of ups and downs in her brief lifetime but when her dysfunctional family life is disrupted in the most upsetting way imaginable, she loses perspective and seeks comfort of an old childhood crush, setting into motion a whirlwind romance that comes with even more twists and turns than she was prepared for.

Confused and in need of gaining control of her hectic life, Simmone up and disappears on everyone from her hurtful past, determined to start fresh with a questionable career choice. The only problem with the past, is that it has a way of creeping back around to haunt you.

SyCo Covelli is a young entrepreneur who didn't let his rough and tumble upbringing keep him from making something of himself. When he runs into Simmone after some urging from his younger sister, he can't help but notice how much she has changed, and not in a good way. Wanting to be the man she needs, while struggling with his own personal issues draws a conflict that proves to be difficult, and he makes a decision that will change both of their lives forever.

Will love be enough to heal Simmone's shattered heart and make SyCo step up to the plate, or will he strike out and ruin things with the girl of his dreams forever?

Loved it

Simmone went through a lot in this book. It looks as if she was never gonna catch a break. Every body she loved seemed to have betrayed her and then she just kept having bad luck. One her knight in shiny armor comes to help. He gets her away from it all but then she feels a connection but when he rejects her she leaves. Now after all the months of hiding Syco runs into her again. Now she is confused again about what to do. Her ex Dequan finds her & ends up getting hurt. Sy goes to jail and finally gets his son. Now his sister is sick and ends up hurt. With all of this Simmone finds out that Dequan is not really hurt as he appears at her house. Not sure of what is going to happen but ready for part 2. Mo felt as if she was finally going to be happy but now she finds out this has all be planned. How it will end only the next part will tell. Good book.

DaQuan was all kinds of crazy and deserved everything that came his way. Somebody should've ended his life for all the craziness he took Simmone through. I felt bad for her and Nahni was dead wrong for inflicting that type of betrayal on a so called friend. I like Syco and appreciated him even more for actually waiting things out. Syco's baby momma was so underhanded for what she tried doing. Just when Simmone seemed to be making it against all odds things instantly changed. I liked how she didn't let the past continue to define are. I'm pissed because DaQuan and Nahni took things too far in the end! They were the ones that really needed the help.

Against all odds

First off, I despised Nahni and DaQuan. I wanted to choke them until their eyes bleed. I couldn't believe the way they were treating Simmone . But you know what they say about karma. SyCo was made for Sim and plus he was good to her. I can't wait to see what's coming.
